On Sunday we continued in our Pentecost series with a teaching from Pete on Acts 1v1-9.

In this key passage we find Jesus expressing a promise to His disciples, that they will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Jesus explains that this baptism will bring power, which will enable them to fulfill their purpose as His witnesses in all the world.

Thank you God for being so generous in the outpouring of your Spirit, may we remain ever aware of our need for it.
